These pages from General Electric explaining how to calculate compressor BTU,s might be of use to a person mulling a change to another refrigerant. General Electric tells us that you need to calculate the weight of refrigerant pumped per hour and then multiply that weight by the latent heat for that particular refrigerant.
The displacement and compressor btus for each of the CK compressors are found in the CK manual. The values for R-12 and SO2 are given in the article. Solving for X and mathmatics would be exact but if the Pressure/Temperature , latent heat and density was close we could still determine if a replacement refrigerant might work?
